What Doug Wilson says about politics and government
Douglas Wilson’s thoughts on elections, government, public health and his political opponents, in his own words. The opponents do not come off well.
Anyone Who Voted for Mamdani Should Lose Their Citizenship
If I have a right to be a citizen, then someone has an obligation to make me a citizen. Does anybody in the world have a right to come here and become a citizen? So, it, in that sense, is not a human right... But citizenship is more of a privilege dependent upon ancestry, background, how long you've been here, whether you meet the qualifications or not. And if America is a creedal nation, then you have to have creedal standards, and [another panelist: "Acknowledgement."] acknowledgement. So anybody who voted for Mamdani should lose their citizenship. [applause]
Europeans Who Want to Deport All the Muslims Are Ordinary “Normies,” Not Fascists
In other words, there will be a massive crowd of ordinary people who simply want Europe back. And because they think that Europe has a heritage worth preserving, they will be promptly categorized as fascists. But their approach will be simple: deport the problem. ... These uber-based types will accuse the European normies, those who simply want to deport all the Muslims, of being [race traitors?] because they do not advocate for the drawing and quartering of all the Muslims.

Muslims Are “Islamatards” and “Islamo-Commies,” and Non-Christian Immigrants Are “Sand in the Sugar Bowl”
As one insightful soul on Twitter put it, ‘Europe will be destroyed by women who project onto those animals the motherhood that belonged to the children they aborted.’ But as Michael Knowles pointed out, there is a problem with the popular takeaway that Muslim immigrants are rioting and causing all this mayhem. The reality is a bit more complicated than that. This is not to exonerate the Muslims over their involvement because they certainly joined in on what they considered to be the festivities... lighting off these periodic conflagrations is a lot more dangerous than the French way used to be because of all the Muslim fumes in the room now.
If Hassan dies whimpering, it will be about 5 minutes before we are flooded with memes, some of them very funny, which exhibit exactly the problem I think somebody should be anticipating. On the other hand, if Hassan faces death with any kind of fortitude, then the whole thing may well create a martyr and saint for the Islamatards. And who around here needed that?
And this is why Joe’s talk is so important, because how much sand can you put in the sugar bowl before it’s not the sugar bowl anymore, right? So you have a Christian nation with a Christian consensus, Christian history, and then in the Biden years alone, over 13 million people with different views on things are flooding the zone... We’re only having the debate because of immigration. If we had 1920 levels of the demographic in America, we wouldn’t be having this debate.
[Aaron Zitner: “Is there room in a Christian, biblically driven society, a Christian nationalist society for Muslims and Hindus and people who aren’t Christians?”] Yes, but not room for a ton of them. Protestants, Catholics and Jews are sort of a de facto arrangement that we’ve worked out over centuries, but I wouldn’t want to exacerbate our problem by importing millions of Muslims such that we wind up with Dearborn, Michigan with unregulated immigration. You’re gonna turn the Michigan-Ohio border into the India-Pakistan border. You’re just importing strife.
We need to be geared up to vote against everything commie, commie adjacent, commie simpatico, commie in denial, or coming to the point at issue, islamo commie. And when you go into the voting booth, you should be going into the booth looking like Aragorn at Helm's Deep, all done fooling around.
[Pamela Brown: “How would a Muslim, or a Mormon, or even a Catholic fit into your version of a Christian nation?”] Yeah. So one of the reasons we have such problems with assimilating Muslims and all these different Hindus is that there are so many of them. Right? So if we had a Christian republic and a Muslim came to Disneyland with his family, we have no problem. But when they fill up Dearborn, Michigan, that’s just not… It says in Amos 3:3, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” You cannot put alien worldviews together cheek by jowl and have peace… So basically, I think a lot of the religious turmoil that we have, the clashes that we would have, could be addressed by a sane immigration policy, not a policy that tries to regulate what people can say or do in their religious convictions.
But, the Crusades, the initial Crusades were inspired by centuries of Muslim aggression and attacks on Europe. And the kind of Muslim invasion that's going on in Europe is an inspiration to bloodshed at a level of 10 100X as opposed to a conference title that uses warfare as a metaphor. So, the actual issue is uncontrolled borders... You can't import the third world without becoming the third world. And you can't—if you brought in a million Muslims and a million Hindus and put them on each side of the—you have just introduced India and Pakistan. All right? You've not westernized anything. You've made everything worse.
The “Deep State” Attempted A Coup Against President Trump
The deep state really is a thing. The swamp that needs draining is frankly the size of Wyoming. But in 2016, when the unthinkable happened and Trump defeated Hillary, the desperate denizens of that deep state immediately began their treasonous and slow-motion coup attempt.
[Cenk Uygur: "...I think a great frustration built up and then they had January 6. So I saw both sides do it..."] Minus the [275?] FBI guys.

Covid Restrictions are Analogous to Slavery
We have to recognize the difference between people who have been slaves for generations, and who are on the brink of being liberated, like the Israelites in Egypt, and a people who have been free for generations, and who are on the brink of being enslaved, like Americans in 2022. The strategies employed by these two different kinds of people are going to be different, of necessity, and the very first thing to do is not to confound the two scenarios.
Candace Owens Is a Leftist Plant
Another thing that won't help is listening to the grievance merchants like Candace Owens. Fuentes is plainly a [fed?], Nick Fuentes, and Candace is a leftist plant, the Manchurian podcaster.

Derek Chauvin Is in Prison Because of “George Floyd’s Drug Problem”
Mobs outside courtrooms are generally not a good sign at all. That's how you wind up with Derek [Chauvin] serving time in prison to pay for George Floyd's drug problem.
Environmentalists’ Long-Term Goal Is “the Dictatorship of the Proletariat”
Of course it's not the end of it. It's the beginning of it. Right? Because they haven't compromised on the clarity of their vision, their long-term vision. Which is the dictatorship of the proletariat.
European Progressives Are Allied With Islamists and Could Arrange to Have Cathedrals Burned
The progressives will point to the rise of this fascism as an existential crisis, the crisis of our time, and one that must be dealt with immediately. In order to accomplish this, they will require, you guessed it, plenipotentiary powers. It turns out that whatever happens, they will demand more power. And because they currently have a working alliance with the Islamists, they can probably arrange to have a few more cathedrals burned down in order to reinforce the urgency of their demands.
Every Major City in England Has a Muslim Mayor
I've seen England as 20 years behind the continent, and America is 30 years behind England. And currently, every major city in England is governed, has a Muslim mayor. Their immigration policy has been disastrous like ours.

He Doesn’t Want to Sustain Democracy and Wants State Legislatures to Appoint Senators Again
But I don't want to sustain our democracy. I want to get back to a republic... The founders, the word democracy would make them wake up in the middle of the night with the flop sweats, you know. They didn't, and they wanted to cordon off democracy in the House of Representatives. And I want that. I want that democratic element in the mix. I think that democratic element is great, but I really want to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to the states appointing senators.
He Is Against Dual U.S.-Israeli Citizenship
I think it's ludicrous if someone says I'm against dual citizenship, for example, in Israel and America, and I am against that, doesn't make me anti-Semitic, or if I think that you couldn't hold office if you're a dual citizen... or if I think that the Israeli lobby has too much influence, that doesn't make you anti-Semitic.

Islam Itself Is Violent, and Faithful Muslims Are the Threat
But if you are opposed to Muslims who have read the Quran, which I've done a couple times, I read through the Quran, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the people, the jihadis, are not twisting the Quran. [Tucker Carlson: "I'm sure I wouldn't know."] They're being consistent with it. And I see them as a far greater threat to the West than the state of Israel is.

The problem was that the tradition of the prophet, though far more bombastic and dogmatic than what we were hearing from the the men of the West, was a tradition that was bloody and twisted. They too had a yearning for underage girls, only made more grotesque, if that were possible, by means of wedding dresses.
[Tucker Carlson: "Is the problem with the Muslims of Europe that they're too Muslim or that they're criminals?"] Well, I mean, that's the same thing. [Tucker Carlson: "It's not though, actually."]

Muslims Are the “Shock Troops” of a Communist-Islamist Power Play and Commit Most Terror Attacks
On top of that, if we look at the shock troops of the power play that is unfolding, whenever somebody drives a van into a farmers market or an airplane into a skyscraper or there's a shooting in a military base or bombing or a beheading, the chances are excellent outstanding that the perpetrator's name is not [Chaim?] or Ehud or Moshe, despite the Jews being the real threat around here according to some, but rather someone with a name like Muhammad along with motives that remain unclear.

Questions Whether Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Should Count as an American
His problem is that in his approach, a person who hotly denies all three can be no less an American than I am. Is the creed performing any function other than the questionable one of decoration? He thinks that [Ketanji] Jackson is an American, right?
The Pro-Choice Establishment Is “Far, Far Worse” Than a Mother Who Killed Her Three Children
If the issue were actually the children, then Israeli children would be included, as well as the millions executed by abortion in this country. And our respected pro-choice establishment is far, far worse than [Lindsay Clancy] ever thought of being.
America Is Two or Three Incidents Away From “the Shooting” Starting
I think we are in far more perilous a situation than I think we've ever been since 1858. I don't think the country has been as divided as we are now for over a century. And it is very clear to me that we are, it wouldn't take too many incidents, like two or three in a row, to have the shooting start.
Marxists Are “On the Verge of Taking Over America,” and Mamdani Is a “Commie”
[Cenk Uygur: "You don't think the Marxists are on the verge of taking over America, do you?"] Yes, I do. [Cenk Uygur: "You do?"] Yeah... There's a commie. There's a commie. There's a commie who's going to likely be the next mayor of New York.
Abortion and Same-Sex Marriage Are an “Alien Civilization” That Cannot Coexist With Christendom
But abortion represents an alien civilization. It is ancient Molech worship redivivus. The same-sex marriage mirage is the same kind of thing. […] It represents an alien civilization, one with a radically different idea of what it means to be human. How could it not be radically different? Mothers cultivate childlessness, wives are male, and husbands are female. […] The remnants of Christendom and the rising acceptance of the Molech state cannot coexist. One will devour the other.
We Shouldn’t Criticize Putin Because He Opposes LGBTQ Rights
I want to be careful, because Putin is one of the figures over there who’s taken a strong stand against the LGBTQ stuff
Environmentalism Is a Pagan Death Cult
Among other things, they have persuaded us that sustainable is a good word, and they have also persuaded us that the Greens are not the enemy of mankind. This was quite an achievement, because one of the things their mainstream leaders say over and over again, out in public and everything, is that the presence of humanity is THE problem. The environmental movement is not to be understood as Friends of Bambi and Thumper. The environmental movement has to be understood rather as a pagan death cult.
Christian Families Should Gather in Separate Communities and Find “a Good Hill to Defend” in “the Next Round”
This means that men should begin to think through their responsibilities regarding the next round. This statement is not made in a column on the civil magistrate, but rather as an exhortation to husbands. A man must protect his family, and in the coming years a thinking man will be looking for a good hill to defend. How might that be done? Families should begin congregating in communities where these duties are understood, and the men of those communities have every intention of fulfilling those duties.
The God of America’s Secular State Is a “Bloodthirsty Maniac”
But all societies are theocratic, with the only thing distinguishing them being the nature and attributes of the reigning theos. Since our current theos happens to be a bloodthirsty maniac, and because I am not a devotee of that particular religion, I would urge my fellow citizens to turn away from him, and turn to our heavenly Father.
Roe v. Wade Declared Every Child in America a “Covenant Bastard”
It is difficult to understand what is more tragic, the decision of the Court to slaughter the children or the inability of modern Christians to even notice that the Court had declared every child in the nation to be, as far as they were concerned, a covenant bastard.
Between 10 and 20 People in the Federal Government Attend His Church’s D.C. Service
And in our D.C. church service, there are a number of people that are either working for the government, you know, they're assigned to the Pentagon, or they have roles in the administration. [Spencer Macnaughton: "More than 10, more than 20? Roughly, how many would you say?"] Boy, I would say between 10 and 20. [SM: "Wow, in the actual administration?"] I would say between 10 and 20 in the government... Sure, no major players at the cabinet level or anything like that. And as for the people who are the next tier or two tiers down from that, I'd rather not say because I don't want to ruin their day.
Liberalism and “Woke” Culture Are Responsible for Young Men Questioning the Holocaust
I do believe that the atmosphere of political correctness, microaggressions, all the woke stuff has inflamed a lot of young men to the point where they're about ready to say, I've been lied to my whole life about everything. Maybe I was lied to about the Holocaust. Now, I don't think that that's a sensible thing to do, but I think the genesis of that was liberalism. Speech codes.
The Federal Government Should Be Cut 75% and Congress Moved to Seattle and the Supreme Court to Kansas City
I would like to see an incarnational approach to the separation of powers. I would like to keep the White House in DC, put the Supreme Court in Kansas City and the Congress in Seattle... Washington DC is a sinkhole of corruption... I'd like to see the size of the federal government reduced by something like 75%.

It’s Fine to Lie About Being Vaccinated or Use Fake COVID-19 Vaccine Certificates
It is certainly tempting to simply make the case by saying that a fake pandemic should have fake papers to accompany it, but that would be too easy, far too glib. I already have severe critics who struggle with their tendency to be censorious, and that would frankly not help. So I won’t start there[…] So I am going to sketch where I believe we are in all this, and then I will conclude with seven principles to govern your possible use of fake IDs […] Fourth, the ethics of the thing are clear enough, meaning that you can be right with God and use a fake vaccine ID. But that doesn’t mean you should risk going to the federal penitentiary in order to take your family to Disneyland. There are wisdom issues involved also, and so you should do a reasonable cost/benefit analysis with regard to whatever it is you are doing. But if nobody at the ball game cares about whether your ID is genuine or not, and they are just going through a formality at the gate, go ahead. You probably could use the practice.
Third, the legitimacy of using such IDs is not limited to gospel issues only. Don’t assume that you could only use such an ID if you were engaged in smuggling Bibles into Connecticut or New York City. These are liberty issues, and any kind of lawful liberty is never a trifle. That said, rank the situations where you would be willing to go this route in order of importance, starting with gospel and worship, then your livelihood, then buying groceries, and so on, down to which restaurant you go to on your anniversary.
The COVID-19 Pandemic Was a Ruse to Hurt Trump
Anything that contributed to the year 2020 being “quite the year” —by which I mean the pandemic, the masking orders, the lock downs, the riots, the race for a vaccine, the whole enchilada—was part of a concerted effort to make it impossible for Trump to gain a second term. Everything. All of it. The whole thing. And when Trump made the fatal decision to try to become the best pandemic president ever, he was trying to assume command of the mob that was coming to lynch him. It simply was not going to work, and it didn’t.
